FORT WORTH, TX, June 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) It will soon be happening again! On May 18th Chef Point Cafe rolled back the price of gasoline from 6:30-7:30 a.m. to 99 cents per gallon to show appreciation to their loyal horde of customers and to also kick off their "99" deals in celebration of their restaurant expansion. And on July 4th their next "99" deal will take place. The big question is: what will the deal be this time?
This wildly popular and iconic Ft. Worth fine dining establishment is in the process of "remembering when" things were simpler in America; when 99 cents could buy you something of value; when times were slower in the country and families had the time to enjoy life at a less-hurried pace. Remember going to the drive-in movies and stopping for an ice cream sundae afterwards? Remember going for walks and having family picnics, when neighbors knew each others' names and looked out for each other? It is a part of the American scene that seems to be disappearing and Chef Franson and his wife Paula Nwaeze, co-owners of this restaurant in a gas station, are doing their part to recapture those lost times and values.
The special "99" deals can be items on sale for 99 cents or maybe specials that will last exactly 99 minutes. Maybe another 99 cent gas sale will happen? The special deals will be available in the coming months but the only way you can find out about them is to sign up on their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chef-Point-Cafe/93513509189 and wait for the next deal to be announced. To insure that you know instantly when a deal is going to take place, sign up for Chef Point's Twitter page at http://twitter.com/#!/ChefPointCafe and receive text notices of when the next deal will start.
These are exciting times at this fine dining local restaurant. The expansion is in full-speed- ahead mode and progressing nicely. When it is completed the available seating will be doubled and a full-service bar will be added. This truly is a success story for this Ft. Worth restaurant and their "99" deals are another way that they are saying thank you for the wonderful support they have received over the years. So sign up now and get ready for the next great bargain brought to you by Chef Point Cafe!
ABOUT CHEF POINT CAFE - Where else but in America could a Nigerian-born immigrant with no formal culinary training marry a financial services expert and open a 5-star restaurant in a gas station AND have that local restaurant be a huge success? That is exactly what happened to Chef Franson and his wife Paula Nwaeze and today they go to work smiling and greet their customers with enthusiasm and Southern hospitality. This is a true American success story and perhaps Paula says it best, "We were warmly welcomed in the beginning and have been supported continually in the Fort Worth area, and we are truly appreciative and excited each and every day when we come to work."

First genetic mutation linked to heart failure in pregnant women
2011-06-22
Researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City have identified the first genetic mutation ever associated with a mysterious and potentially devastating form of heart disease that affects women in the final weeks of pregnancy or the first few months after delivery.
The disease, peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), weakens a woman's heart so that it no longer pumps blood efficiently. The disease is relatively rare, affecting about one in 3,000 to 4,000 previously healthy American women. Most PPCM patients are treated with medicine, but about ...
U of M researchers find smart decisions for changing environmental times
2011-06-22
You've just been told you're going on a trip. The only problem is, you don't know where you're going, how you'll be traveling, or what you'll do when you get there.
Sound like a wild ride? It's the one our planet is on right now. As land use, human population, consumption and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations change at an unprecedented pace with complex and unpredictable interactions, it's anybody's guess where we'll end up or what we can do to ensure the most favorable outcome.
Recognizing that "guess" is not good enough when talking about the viability of ...
Picky pollinators: Native bees are selective about where they live and feed
2011-06-22
INDIANA DUNES NATIONAL LAKESHORE, Ind. —Native bees – often small, stingless, solitary and unnoticed in the flashier world of stinging honeybees – are quite discriminating about where they live, according to U.S. Geological Survey research.
The study found that, overall, composition of a plant community is a weak predictor of the composition of a bee community, which may seem counterintuitive at first, said USGS scientist and study lead Ralph Grundel. This may be because specialized plant-bee interactions, in which a given bee species only pollinates one plant species ...
Not-so-sweet potato from Clemson University, USDA resists pests, disease
2011-06-22
BLACKVILLE, S.C. — Scientists from Clemson University and the USDA Agricultural Research Service have developed a new variety of not-so-sweet potato, called Liberty.
Known as a boniato, or tropical sweet potato, Liberty has a dark red skin and light yellow, dry flesh with a bland flavor. Boniato potatoes originated in the tropical Americas and are grown in south Florida in the United States. They can be served fried, mashed or in soup.
"We developed Liberty because other boniato varieties are susceptible to damage by nematodes (microscopic parasitic worms)," said John ...
Stem cell model offers clues to cause of inherited ALS
2011-06-22
An international team of scientists led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to reveal for the first time how reduced levels of a specific protein may play a central role in causing at least one inherited form of the disease.
The work, published in the June 2011 online issue of the journal Human Molecular Genetics, could help scientists overcome a major hurdle in the study and treatment of ALS, an incurable neuromuscular ...
Potato psyllid research helps producers determine best management practices
2011-06-22
AMARILLO – One potato field west of Bushland hosts three separate studies, all aimed at helping growers nationwide, even internationally, understand the habits and controls of the potato psyllid.
The potato psyllid is the insect that transmits a bacterium that causes the relatively new disease in potatoes known as zebra chip, according to Dr. Charlie Rush, Texas AgriLife Research plant pathologist.
The team of AgriLife Research scientists and a Texas AgriLife Extension Service specialist is working on potato psyllid control and epidemiology of disease transmission under ...
NASA sees Hurricane Beatriz 'wink' on the Mexican coast
2011-06-22
Hurricane Beatriz is skirting the southwestern Mexican coast today, June 21 and bringing heavy rains and high surf to coastal areas, including Mexico's biggest port. NASA satellite imagery showed that Beatriz seemed to develop an eye that opened on microwave imagery and closed on visible imagery, appearing to give satellites a "wink."
Last night (June 20, 2011) by 8 p.m. EDT, heavy rains were spreading over the southwestern Mexican coast. At that time, Beatriz was still a tropical storm. By 11 p.m. EDT Beatriz had strengthened into a hurricane. At 5 a.m. EDT today, June ...
Infrared NASA imagery reveals a weaker tropical cyclone in the South China Sea
2011-06-22
Tropical Depression 06W is still slowing, making its way through the South China Sea today and has weakened overnight. NASA infrared satellite imagery showed a much more disorganized storm with scattered convection, which accounts for its weakened status from tropical storm to tropical depression.
On June 21 at 1500 UTC (11 a.m. EDT) the newly weakened Tropical Depression 06W was located about 480 nautical miles east-southeast of Hanoi, Vietnam near 18.8 North and 113.8 East. Depression 06W's maximum sustained winds had decreased to 25 knots (28 mph/46 kmh). It was moving ...
